Redeemedfrom the curse Lawof the
aster is what Christianity is all about. There’ll be nothing to preach or victories to
share if Jesus never arose. So The Devil will try all he can to make nonsense of it E‘cause he knows that there lies the real power. They may allow you talk about Jesus as
a messenger or prophet, but when you begin to talk about Jesus being the Son of God with
power, they disagree with you.
e have such people all around even
within the church who as the Bible says, Wonly practice Religion but deny the
Power that goes with the gospel
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
What does easter and indeed, the death and
Ressurection of Jesus represent in our
lives:
Colosians 1:13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:
It brought
DELIVERANCE from
the power of darkness
It brought
TRANSLATION into the
kingdom of God. We
didn't have to pay for
this, God himself did
this so that all of humanity may become acceptable
in the beloved
Ephesians 1:6-7 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved..Vs 7: In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
By the sacrifice of Christ, there was total atonement
for sin and remission
Under the Laws of Moses, the children will always
offered rams and bulls for sacrifices to cover their
sins for a period ... The Blood of Jesus did far more
than just covering our sins, His blood, completely
removed the sins and guilt of sin forever. All we now
need to do is to accept this truth then it begins to
operate in our lives
Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

What is the Cause of the Law?
These are specific punishments for every sin that
the children of Israel committed
Deut. 27:26; Deut 28:1-End
The Law is to the Children of Israel, like a covenant
with God. And just like every agreement, It goes
with blessings and curses, As long as
you kept the laws, you are in the
blessing, but once you disobeyed the
law, curses are on you.
The problem is really not with the Law,
but the inability of the Children of
Israel to keep them, hence, so many of
them lived under the curse of the Law.
Some of the Laws and ordinances
include that men and women should not share
clothing, Don't sow your land with 2 kinds of crop,
Don't wear clothes made with a mixture of fabrics,
(e.g cotton and rayon). Don't shave your beard, etc.
Today, God want the laws to be in our hearts, not
just on stones that we try to keep. So he sent Jesus
who obediently took upon himself, whatever
causes the Law may have.
“for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree”Gal 3:13b.So no more curses, whether from family, Laws,
traditions, etc Jesus paid the price, now God’s laws
are written upon our hearts that we may continually
please God. Christianity is not about trying to
please God, but God has given us an obedient
Redeemedfrom the curse Lawof the
heart, we just obey him naturally... He
says we are obedient Children.
If God made all these available, its
amazing that many still desire to
continually remain under the curse.
Religion brings men perpetually under
the Law. When we continue to live by
certain rules: e.g wash feet before prayer
or how many times to pray, don't wear shoes, recite
the mantra, etc, we are still subjecting ourselves to
the Laws... But the Bible say Jesus took Laws out of the
way
’’Col 2:14: Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;,...’’
Your Victory in Life is to know that Jesus has done
all to make you free and introduced you to a good
life! Refuse to be lied to . Some will come to you
claiming to be prophets, etc telling you stories and
visions. When you believe in Jesus and know the
truth, you wont be deceived and you’ll enter His rest
God want His laws to be in
our hearts, not just on stones that we have to try to keep.

thank God for His word that came to my family
through one of my uncles who persuaded
my father to try Jesus. That was the light
that shined in darkness and healed me.
Since then, I have remained healthy
thanks be to God.
Now am inspired to continually

virtuous woman
is nothing like Awhat you see in
the world today.
Men are marrying beautiful,
lazy, nagging, wives who
can’t even do simple things
that women are supposed to know how to do.
Make sure you are not attracted to a girl for
sensuality because that is what it’s all about for
most marriages in the world today. As Christians
we must watch out for this.
You can’t put a price on a virtuous woman, she’s a
true blessing from the Lord. Her husband and kids
praise her. The world mocks biblical women, but a
true godly woman is honoured.
One of the reasons kids are becoming more
rebellious is because they don’t have a biblical
A big factor for the divorce rate being so high
is because it is hard to find a virtuous woman.
Beware of evil women! Not all who claim to be
a Christian woman is truly godly.

The Virtuous woman is beautiful in and out, caring,

seek. She is priceless “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” Proverbs 31:10

iving a victorious life
simply means to live an
overcoming life; living Labove difficulties of life; living a
triumphant life.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR MAN
TO LIVE IN TOTAL VICTORY?
The bible says:
“...For with God all things are possible”
That means, only in God can a
man live in perpetual victory.
Outside God is Failure, Defeat,
Set Back, Poverty, Disease,
Frustration and Calamity. Man
ought to live in God to
experience His victorious
power, God desired that every
man live in perpetual victory and
He is ready to demonstrate His
power in every man that can be
found in Him.
Mark 7 v 27.
That was God’s original plan when He
molded man from the dust of the
ground, And infused His life into man.
Gen 1 & 2.
Unfortunately Adam and Eve sinned.
Every man is a descendant of Adam and
Eve.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” Roman 3 v 23.
Sin was inherited from them; this sin
made all men that is born of man sinners;
it brought condemnation upon man and
made man come short of God’s
provisions, His benefits and more
importantly the life God gave to man;
death began to reign in the life of man.
Today, through Jesus Christ we can once
again experience the Victorious Life.
Man became a supernatural being and
superior to every other creature. Man
was in control of God’s Creation and
lived in the glory of God.
Roman 6 v 23.

ne important aspect of our lives is Prayer. No
matter what you believe, one thing you don't Ofail to do is pray. Some pray to Stones, Wood,
River gods, etc.
As God’s Children, we pray to Him in Jesus’ name and we
have assurance that He hears us whenever we pray.
“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:” -
So why does it appear that your prayers are not
answered every time you prayed?
How can you at least be at rest knowing God has heard
your prayed has done something about it?
The answer is hidden in 3 simple principles of
Motive, Attitude and Content
You must get this right, otherwise you’ll get nothing.
The Key is in Paying according to His will
why are you praying? what do you hope to achieve via
this prayer? what’s the Big Idea? It should not always be
all about you. Why are you praying for a car it so you can
oppress others? Any motive in prayer that does not
glorify God eventually will not hit the mark
“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
1John 5:14
1 MOTIVE:
GETTING ANSWERS TOPrayersgive good things to them that ask him?” -
Your attitude in the place of prayer will determine
what you get.
God demands total submission and attention.
When you pray, take charge of your mind and
refuse for it to wonder away. Concentrate on the
matter at hand.... That’s the point God‘ll speak to
your heart and tell you what to do. Refuse to be
distracted by your phone, neighbour, etc.
“But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”-
Very Importantly, what you say in prayer matters a
lot. You must speak God’s word in prayer, not what
you think. If you’re praying for finance, do you
know what the Bible says about finances? Don't
guess, study the scriptures, find the truth, then
speak it in prayer,. God is not moved by your tears,
He is moved by your response to His words.
“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.
Matthew 7:11
Hebrews 11:6

WHAT DOES IT
MEAN TO HAVE A
e all probably have different ideas of what a
good life can be. Some may imagine that Whaving enough to eat, drink and wear
whenever you need it, is enough good life.
Others may imagine a good life is being able to travel round
the world and connect great business deals, etc. Yet for some
others, a good life will be a struggle free life... you are born,
go to school, get married, raise a
family and are generally happy
with little or no interference. This
all sounds good and indeed are
components if a good life.
However a good life should be
able to offer far more than all of
these. A good life is one that
draws its source from the Spirit,
not based on all the physical
attractions.
Jesus says He came that we may
have a good life.
Jn 10:10b ... I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
There's something called having
life more abundantly... that’s the
good life! A good Life is a life that
comes with value... What value can
you say your present life has or is
adding to others.
A good life is a life that has
something its living for... Do you
have a “LIFE VISION?” or are you
just living... You’ve not started
Life

LIFE
living until you begin to live by
PURPOSE.
Take a break right now! Invite
Jesus into your life and He will
give you Purpose for Living... A
value added life... The good Life
No matter what you have, if
you find yourself always
striving to prove something to
others in life. e.g that you also
have arrived, or successful,
fashionable, relevant, etc.
then you’re not living a good
life.
Accept you need Help, Believe God has provided Help by Jesus who died for you and was raised by God for your justification. Declare that Jesus is Lord of your Life. Own your salvation by declaring it in Jesus’ name.

n the book of Genesis, There was a man called Noah, He had three sons - shem, Ham, and IJapheth.
One day God told Noah to build a very big ship/Ark, Then God told him to pack all kinds of animals in it to save them when the Big Rain begins to fall.
When The rain started, it did not stop for 40day. All those who didnt enter the ship, all died because they
Noah was obedient. He dis what God told Him. He even told his friends and neighbours to enter the ship but they refused and laughed at him.
disobeyed God and did not listen to Noah’s warning. After 40 day, Noah with his wife, and Three sons with their wive came out of the ship alive, They also brought out all the animals they put in the ship and allowd them to run around.
Thank God Noah and His family obeyed God. That is why we still have animals like monkeys, giraffes, sheep, around us today.
it is good to obey God always, even when our friends laugh at us.

esus says to Have faith in God.
Our faith is not to get God to do Jsomething. ....rather we exercise
faith in what He already done/provided
for. Just as switching on a light switch
doesn't create the electricity, it only
connects us to electricity that's already
provided... so is faith our connection to
God's eternal provision
Without faith its impossible to please
God. ... just like any father will be
displeased when his child rejects what
he's provided, God take delight in
seeing that we're able to fully access
and use all he has provided for us...
thats the way to please him. So am
decided to further stretch my faith, by
reaching for all God's provided.... I just
want to please him
